Arleen Hallock, owner of a stand at the New York State Fair named Hallock's Hard Times and the new tavern, is now able to serve all year long rather than just the annual State Fair week.

Arleen's newly hired chef, Peru native Miercella Lunes who used to cook at Alabrassa in the village of Liverpool, prepares the tavern's delicious food such as it's signature hand made chicken salads, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and panninis, nachos, and quesadillas.

Along with the great service and food it has to offer, the bar also has an array of thirst quenching brews that are served in a clean and welcoming atmosphere.

The tavern is in Sugarwood Commons plaza located at 7575 Buckley Rd., North Syracuse, at the intersection of Buckley and Bear roads and since its opening on Friday, June 22, will be open daily at 11:30 a.m.
